Welcome!

Welcome Everyone!
My name is Sasha Allen and I am the Literature Coordinator of UCCF for the 2010-2011 academic year. I merely seek to build on the well established foundation that Xavier Lloyd and Jordanna Guthrie (Past Literature Coordinator and Assistant respectively) put in place on this blog.

May you be truly and deeply blessed as you read these posts.

Official Welcome from Xavier Lloyd
Welcome reader, to the UWI, Mona UCCF Literature blog. My name is Xavier Lloyd, and I humbly hold the post of Literature Coordinator within UWI UCCF. For those who don't know, UCCF is the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship and UWI is the University of the West Indies.

The aim of UWI UCCF is to know Christ and to make Christ known to our campus, and everyone we come into contact with. After much prayer and deliberation, I thought it was time for new ways of spreading inspired writers to be introduced within UCCF and being the tech-savvy person I am, starting a blog seemed like the best course of action. This is also in keeping with our aim as technology seems to spread news faster than anything else nowadays. It is my prayer that the words found here are borne on eagle's wings to places inconceivable to myself and that they fulfil their purpose in edification of the flock, spreading the gospel of salvation of Christ Jesus, and bring glory and praise to the one true God of heaven and earth.

The purpose of this blog is to share poems, prose, songs, plays, articles...just whatever words God has inspired His sheep to put on paper, with interested individuals. My aim is to encourage the flock at UWI, Mona to write and express themselves as a form of giving glory to the Most High God while improving their writing and critical thinking skills at the same time. I would like for us modern day writers to be on par with writers of old like David and Solomon, for us to be men and women after God's own heart, for us to be bestowed with wisdom from on high, and for us to continually use words to praise the Lord.

Please enjoy browsing around and feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, criticisms, prayer requests, or any material you feel lead to share with fellow readers.

God bless!

Psalm 19:4
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Are You in the centre?:Centre of Your Will

This insight is very comforting.
Words from the author:
Tryin to live a romans 8:28 thought-life with a jeremiah 29:11 foundation. =)
I ALONE KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, PLANS TO BRING YOU PROSPERITY AND NOT DISASTER, PLANS TO BRING ABOUT THE FUTURE YOU HOPE FOR. Jeremiah 29:11


Centre of Your Will

Each laboured breath loses its burden when hushed in the centre of Your will
All busy hands trying to make their own way cease in the centre of Your will
As i fight and fight, energy being pulled from my core, in the gut of my heart i rest assured
there's no better place to rest my soul, than in the centre of Your will

When we meet face to Face, i see behind the tears, that scar my fragile eyes,
that You know my inmost being, all the secrets i try to hide
You grab me by my shaking hands, You ease my restless mind
You whisper "Child be still. Come into the centre of My will".

Love does not envy when buried in the centre of Your will.
It rejoices in Your wisdom-induced pain, believing there is much to gain, when caused through the centre of Your will
It walks away and says goodbye, weeping endures a summer of nights; it offers its love to
stay at Your side, trusting the inevitable joy joined with some distant near-morning's light
when invests its faith in the centre of Your will


When we meet face to Face, i see behind the tears, that scrape my fragile eyes,
that You know my inmost being, all the pain i try to hide
You grab me by my shaking hands, You ease my restless mind
You whisper "Child be still. Delight in the centre of My will".


As separated as i feel, i won't quit until Your heart is revealed
The depth and secrecy of the womb could not withold my blueprints from You
You give me the ability to question and fight, to harbour frustration at will
Yet i relinquish that right, I surrender to the woe that springs peace,
i long to be dear Lord, at the centre of Your will


When we meet face to Face, i see behind the tears, that soothe my fragile eyes,
that You know my inmost being, all the doubt i try to hide
You grab me by my shaking hands, You ease my restless mind
You whisper "Child be still. You're in the centre of my will".
